Splendid colour! I certainly like this shade. My only gripe is that the ink isn't water resistant. Perhaps the ink maker can do a version 2.0 that will be water resistant. Thanks for the ink review.

My bottles have arrived. It's not as bright as I thought, but still quite pretty. It reminds me of Private Reserve Orange Crush.

Thank you for the review! Indeed, this is a gorgeous orange.

 

I just recently picked up the BungBox Hamanako Mandarin Orange and love it too. This would be a great addition to my orange collection!

Even with the shipping cost to the US, I could not resist. Now the waiting begins.

My my, I must get one bottle even though the shipping fee is very high for just one bottle!!!

 

 

Order the pen - shipment will be free ;)

 

 

LOL...buying that beautiful pen would strike a mortal blow to my pen budget.

 

Excellent review, Vis, of an outstanding ink. Konrad really outdid himself with this one. Great name for pen and ink! Have a bottle coming in the mail. I always cringe when the shipping cost exceeds the product cost. 1st world problems.

 

 

Love this color , hate the shipping fees, they are just enough to make you think: really, REALLY?

Don't have another orange-brown handy to compare it to, but my first thought was, "wow, that is even more orange than I expected."

It is in my Omas Arlecchino in which I always use orange ink, so that is a perfect fit.

 

Best Regards, greg

Thank you for sharing a sample of this ink. I am glad your bottle was closest to the first example we saw of this ink & I may regret not having ordered it. I am glad you are treating that Arlecchino to the color it deserves! It will always be perhaps my most admired of the Omas pens, the story behind it & the wonderful Italian spirit to combine those colors makes me happy just to see it photographed. Enjoy the most wonderful Fall pen & ink combination, I could imagine.
